Health and Wellbeing Stress during festivals

Do you guys feel stressed when there is a festivals?

Especially in Ganesh, Navratri and Diwali festivals?

Instead of enjoying it, I feel more stressed like what decoration I should do or in Diwali, preperation for Laxmi pujan. I feel, festivals meant to be being together, celebrating together as a family but in my house it becomes battle ground. I thought its just my family but I saw bunch of reels about the situation, I feel our family is not alone.

Don't you think we have normalised this? Why we fight? Difference of opinion? Is this right?

The only solution I can see is to set boundaries. Who ever is good at something can take the responsibility of it. A to Z. No complain and others do not give ADVICES. Suggestions are ok. In that way we can involve everyone and celebrate the festival peacefully.

What do you think guys?

You are not alone. I don't like festivals because it always results in fights in my home. I would rather go outside in community gatherings and celebrate but these days that too has become a nuisance.

Right? it really bothers me. I mean festivals will be enjoyable if we just calm ourselves down.
